Stravecchio Oro del Tempo is a superior, 24-month aged Grana Padano produced by Agriform near Venice. This masterpiece compares beautifully with its better-known cousin Parmigiano Reggiano. The flavor of Stravecchio is intense and complex, with fruity overtones that evoke pineapple or strawberry, depending on the season. Like all precious things, every Stravecchio cheese is one of a kind, and each wheel is branded with a unique serial number. Agriform tests the quality of each wheel of Stravecchio every week until the twentieth month of aging. The end result of this rigorous testing process is that only the cheeses that deserve to become prime Grana Padano Stravecchio are stamped with the certificate of origin and guarantee.

My order arrived a day ahead of promised date, that was good. Packaging was good was good.
But the taste was not the richness I was looking for, sort of bland.

Potential Health Benefits-and tastes good too!

Recent study in Italy demonstrated preliminary findings in 30 people eating approx. 1oz Grand Padano/day dropped 5-6 points on systolic and diastolic blood pressure. The amino acids chains produced by the cheese may relax blood vessels to lower pressure. Research is showing full fat cheeses may be good/better than others. Besides, this Grano Padano has a great intense flavor! Just remember, these type results generally are best when eating balanced diets and eating in moderation. No magic bullet for good health.

excellent product

Cheese arrived promptly and well packed. It is delicious. We bought it because it was recommended for health reasons to help with blood pressure issues.

Big Cheese disappointment!

This cheese was such a disappointment! It was as hard as a rock(practically), and was almost impossible to cut. the same holds true for the other cheese. The gorgonzola dolce was wonderful...but as I said...when I unwrapped the two harder cheeses, I was dimayed...I had no other options, except to go to the store and buy a lesser cheese. I have had great luck and service from you'll in the past...heard anything about these two cheeses from anyone else? I will use these cheeses for soup...if they will actually melt...they were even difficult to try to grate...not my purpose in the first place. What could be the reason for this. I will say that theoriginal shipment was timely, but the G. Dolce that was part of that shipment had leaked all over the container, so I called and you were kind enough to send me another, very quickly!

I just enjoy this cheese. Love to just take a bite and let it slowly melt in my mouth, savoring the flavor.

Crystals in cheese: Good or Bad?

I am aware that SOME people consider crystals in cheese a good thing and is in cheese that has been aged. However I am not one of those people that enjoy eating cheese that tastes like chips of glass/sand in my mouth. I would suggest that when you write the description you should also include that the cheese has been aged and has crystals in it. If you had given a full description I would never have spent so much money on an item that I threw away.

Consistently Excellent

This cheese has always been a mainstay and it is because of its consistent quality and flavors. It is used for cooking mostly at our house, but is also good on its own.
